"Even though this is Hope Sandoval and Colm O'Coisog's third album together, The Warm Inventions continue to be assessed from the under the shadow of their respective histories. Sandoval's time in Mazzy Star and O'Coisog's with My Bloody Valentine is significant of course, but The Warm Inventions is an entirely different beast altogether. There's a fair amount of shimmering going on admittedly, but that's about as far as comparisons can stretch ... As with the majority of this album, the joy is to be found in the simplicity of the arrangements, the natural beauty of Sandoval's voice and O'Coisog's instrumentation. How they pack so much emotion and feel into so little is nothing short of magical".
